Myths made real

Jenkins laughed. “Okay, I’ve heard every old pirate legend, and they’re all false, and I’ve heard a million old wives’ tales through the empire, but telling me that YOU’RE a real Roman, and that I’m on an island that Plato made up as complete horse manure…” He stopped laughing for a second, and took a […]

Since When has School been Busy?

So if you didn’t know, I’ve been home alone for about the past week (monday till this wednesday), and surprisingly, it wasn’t that bad. A couple extra things to do before going to bed, and having to deal with food a bit more (my mom left me lots of stuff in the fridge and freezer), […]

Great Blue Unknown

“I don’t like this, Captain. He sends us on an ambiguous journey into the middle of the ocean where ships have been lost, and expects a bunch of privateers to do his bidding. I think he’s trying to off us,” finished McKidd. He had been Jenkins’ first mate since the Hind had been in the […]
